the Portland area. In addition
to the music, festival-goers can
take free jet-boat rides across
the W illamette to view salmon-
related dem onstrations and ex
hibits at OM SI, and kids can
learn about salm on species
w hile playing at the Pacific
Pow er K id s’ Pow er Pavilion.
Food, o f course, will be a
highlight as traditionally pre
pared salm on and fry bread
will be available along with an
eclectic selection o f cuisine.
An added attraction will be
an Art M arketplace with N a
tiv e fin e a rts an d c ra f ts .
Twenty artists will display their
work offering Portlanders a
